About, Contact, etc.
Alright, time we put together a proper “about” page. Hi, we’re from Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Rather than even attempt to cover everything going on in this sprawling metropolis, our podcast loosely revolves around “stuff we care about.” Comic books, music, film, people and events, local and otherwise.
